The Men Who Saved West Point

It is widely known that Major General Benedict Arnold conspired to hand the American fortress at West Point over to the enemy for 20, 000 British pounds and a brigadier general commission in the British army. The plot also included the possibility of capturing General Washington while he was visiting with Major General Arnold at West Point. Sadly, it has been all but forgotten that there were three New York militiamen who foiled Arnold's treasonous plot to turn over the strategic fortress at West Point (and General Washington as a bonus) to the British in September 1780.
The purpose of this book is to retell the story of Major General Benedict Arnold's treasonous act and shine a spotlight back on the three New York militiamen who saved West Point (and possibly General Washington) from falling into British hands during the Revolutionary War.
